Early life and education[edit]
Smith was born to Susan Collins Smith and Joseph Mack Smith. His mother was a successful entrepreneur and concert pianist.[4] His father was a All-American college football player at the University of Arkansas.[5]
His grandfather was the Hall of Fame football Player, Billy Ray Smith.[6] Smith did not learn of this lineage until after the death of his parents. He was educated at the University of Arkansas, where he triple-majored in Psychology, Business and Physics. He graduated Summa Cum Laude in all three subjects.[citation needed] While the university, he enrolled in Army Reserve Officers' Training Corps, where he was later commissioned as a Lieutenant in the 3rd Ranger Battalion, after completing jump, dive and mountain warfare training.[7] It is believed, though not confirmed, that he was later assigned to the Special Activities Center (SAC) of the Central Intelligence Agency.[8]
He re-entered the public sphere in 2005, when he enrolled at the University of Arkansas fLaw School. He was admitted to the Arkansas Bar in 2007, but later voluntarily surrendered his license, not wanting to continue with any legal career.[9]
Career[edit]
While attending law school he entered commercial real estate brokerage and property development, where he began his focus of developing property for Casey's General Store throughout Arkansas. His true entrepreneurial career began when he started leasing and purchasing mineral rights in Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma. He later formed Rock Capital Group, where he acted as CEO of a privately held captive capital group, that focused on investments in oil and gas and commercial real estate development. Rock Capital Group/Rock Capital Partners successfully deployed and managed over $100M.[10]
In 2015, his companies were sued by one of his partners. This resulted in a negotiated settlement agreement for approximately $7M.
In 2017, he emerged again as an entrepreneur, focusing his efforts once again in commercial real estate development.[11]
He is the CEO of SQRL Holdings.[12] He is an author of his memoir The Comebac; the father of four girls (Sadie, Emma Grace, Isabella and Audrey); and husband to his wife Amanda.[13][14][15]
